  I had no idea this was getting an anime! Something to look forward to with the new year I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Oshi no Ko - Ch. 165⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know Aqua said from the very beginning that he intended to get revenge no matter the cost to himself, but it’s still a little surprising to see it end like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's anime has the best romance?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m two episodes from the end right now, and once it got past the slow start this show was really excellent!

  Curiosity sated. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your best isekai anime?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Feels weird to say that one of my favorite isekai is a shoujo mech anime, but you’re absolutely right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Birthday !manga@ani.social - Manga General Discussion Thread [2024, Week 45]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I guess if you’re offering… does wjs stand for anything in particular? Or is that too private a question?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your best romance animes with an assertive male protagonist?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that you mention it, I’m not sure whether to call Bravern a romance either. Romance is kind of the focus, but it kind of isn’t. Either way it’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.

  I’d love to get a good Junji Ito adaptation someday but at this point I’m beginning to thing the guy is cursed.

  Man, why do all the anime streaming sites have to be so terrible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mecha Ude: Mechanical Arms • Mecha-ude (TV) - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This show is a weird one to me. The humor is for the most part really good. The mecha-ude are very charming. Any time it tries to do anything serious though it feels like the writing takes a drop in quality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teaser Visual for Season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, I don’t care that much about whether the season comes to its own satisfying conclusion. I was mostly wondering this because I was considering maybe picking up the light novels when I have the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teaser Visual for Season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone know how long this one is? I’m curious to know whether Season 2 is likely to finish the story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kidou Senshi Gundam: Fukushuu no Requiem • GUNDAM: Requiem for Vengeance - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the anilist api give you the release date of individual episodes? If so you could do a check to see if they’re all the same day. Or is that what you were getting at when talking about parsing nyaa?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kidou Senshi Gundam: Fukushuu no Requiem • GUNDAM: Requiem for Vengeance - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe for shows like this that are dropped all at once a discussion thread for the whole show would make sense. I guess most shows are too long to watch in one sitting though, unlike this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kidou Senshi Gundam: Fukushuu no Requiem • GUNDAM: Requiem for Vengeance - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished watching the whole show. A couple plot points were really dumb, which is unfortunate because there are only 6 episodes so it was being dumb at least 1/3 of the time. The most impressive part to me was that it didn’t look like ass despite being 100% 3d-rendered. Certainly not the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but I won’t be recommending it to people either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ao no Hako • Blue Box - Episode 3 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This episode was a great reminder of why Haryu is just the best. What a guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favorite Manga?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yotsuba&! is great! I wish it got more recognition is a hilarious manga rather than just a stepping stone for Japanese learners.

  My favorite though is Kaguya-sama: Love is War. The characters are all insane in the most perfect ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lore Of Disturbing Human-Pokémon Relationships & Hybrid Offspring Come To Light In Recent Game Freak Leaks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if they’re “real” the decision was made to not release them. They’re stories that were specifically chosen to not be canon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[DISC] Spy x Family - Mission 106⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to see that the Desmonds continue to deliver on being weird as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ao no Hako • Blue Box - Episode 3 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, thanks! I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t a bug.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ao no Hako • Blue Box - Episode 3 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something? As far as I can tell the third episode hasn’t aired yet. Did the bot just bug out because Netflix has it listed despite it not being available for another 5 days?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 41]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but it might as well have been for all the awareness the mangaka appears to have had for what they were writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 41]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tried reading Hakutaku, Shonen Jump’s newest thing. A game development manga sounds like a cool idea! Anyways, wow. That was complete shit. Character A (can’t remember her name, doesn’t matter) has been developing games for 3 years instead of going to school. She’s bad at it. Character B (can’t remember his name, doesn’t matter) has been learning to develop games for closer to 3 weeks. He’s somehow, inexplicably good at it. He can program. He can do art. He can do game design. He can do sound. Of course, this is all just stuff we assume he can do since the manga doesn’t show us any of this. It just shows those two teaming up and agreeing to make something together, then BAM! It’s done! Just like that. And everyone loves it. So Character A asks Character B if he wants to make games with her again with her as the producer and marketer and him as the person who does literally everything else. No clue what a producer or marketer even does here, and the manga sure isn’t going to show us. He agrees, and BAM! They made a fun game again. Completely off-screen. I’m dropping this. It already occupied too much of my time at 3 chapters; aint no way I’m giving it more.

  From this season

  • Blue Box - Seems to be a solid adaptation of the manga. I wonder if they went too far making everything as pretty as possible, but that might just be the recoil of watching this right after having seen Ping Pong: The Animation. Now that color has been added, I can finally tell Chinatsu and Hina apart, which is nice.
  • Dandadan - An excellent adaptation of the manga. Warning: first episode has sexual assault in it. There’s also another sexual assault scene in a later arc. If you can stomach that, this is a wild, fun tale of some teenagers who are trying to survive in a world beset by yokai and aliens.

  Older stuff

  • Ping Pong: The Animation - A cool show. This is one to watch if you start feeling like too many anime look the same, or if you’re tired of how every character looks like a model. This is also one to watch if you just want to see a good sports anime.

  • Eureka 7 - I’m only 30-something episodes in, but this show has just been getting better and better. Easily one of the best mech anime I’ve ever seen, assuming they don’t do anything to screw it up later. Very stylish; I love the concept of mechs that fight while riding turbulence on surfboards. It also has a charming cast.

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - This is another one I’m only 30-something episodes into. So far it’s been really good! Not nearly as bleak as the name or the first couple of episodes would have you believe. So far, anyways. I don’t like it quite as much as I like Eureka 7, but it’s close.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The Elusive Samurai" Season 2 Announced⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s excellent news! I know the show’s tone threw some people off, but I really enjoyed season 1. Hopefully the animation quality remains excellent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ao no Hako • Blue Box - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The visuals look nice; I look forward to seeing how they animate the badminton matches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blue Box TV Anime Series confirmed to run for 2 straight cours. Starting on October 3, every Thursday.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s good; the manga didn’t move especially quickly and I didn’t think this story could leave a strong impression in only 12 episodes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The part of your workday that you’re most likely to die during is your commute, especially if you drive, which is not covered by DoL or OSHA.

  FWIW this is because of DoL and OSHA making sure that once you get to work they have to keep you reasonably safe. This was not always the case in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Meta] Episode Discussion Post Guide - Make Technology Work For You!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the explanation! Does this apply only to anime or does it also apply to manga?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 40]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Read the first 6 chapters of NO\NAME! This one was pretty cool. People receive powers based off their names. Our protagonists are name cops investigating a string of murders.

  Read some Sailor Moon. I’m almost halfway through (roughly corresponding with the early episodes of Sailor Moon S), and what’s struck me hardest about it is just how different the manga feels due to the absence of all the filler I’m used to from watching the anime. On the one hand, it’s mostly great! It’s like watching the anime, but only with the parts where things actually happen! On the other hand, I’m realizing that most of the characterization of the sailor scouts (aside from Sailor Moon herself) came from those filler episodes. Overall it feels like they have a little less personality in the manga as a result.

  Finished Jujutsu Kaisen. It was overall good, but in the end the author cared way too much about his power system and not enough about the characters. One of the few epilogue chapters was dedicated almost entirely to ramblings about simple domain that nobody really cared about at that point for example.
